Yasser Hamed

Senior Technical Director, Walt Disney Animation Studios

Bachelor of Engineering 2003

Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment

Australian expat Yasser Hamed was granted permanent residence in the US in the category of 'Alien of extraordinary ability in the arts or sciences', a category reserved for the likes of Nobel Prize winners and the few who have reached the top of their field and international acclaim. Based in Hollywood,
Yasser has cemented his name in the film industry as a special effects software guru and worked with the academy award-winning studios Animal Logic, Sony Pictures Imageworks and Walt Disney studios on a number of feature films including Warner Bros. Happy Feet, Disney's Tangled, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, Sony's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Paramounts Beowulf, and most recently Disney's Wreck-It Ralph.

Yassar got the chance to work on Happy Feet partly as a result of a final-year engineering project at UON. The project, for which he received a high distinction, allowed him to combine engineering with his hobby of computer-generated graphics and image processing.

Since April 2010, Yasser has held the positions of Senior Technical Director, Crowds Lead and Crowds Supervisor with Walt Disney Animation Studios. In 2010, he received the UON Newton-John Alumni Award for his innovative contributions to the film industry.
